People with AS predisposed to religious thought?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been thinking a lot about what makes people religious on the level of influences in their daily lives and it occurred to me that people with AS may be inclined toward religion. I know that in my case, I never feel like I'm ever really, truly alone. It's quite distressing, really - I always feel like I'm performing, like I have an audience or am being watched. I'm not sure if that's my AS or something totally unrelated, but if so, I realized that some people may interpret that "invisible watcher" as the presence of a god of some kind.

I also think that it may be part of what contributed to my progression to atheism. There were times when I felt so much like I was performing for something or someone that it was all I could do to hold my sanity about me. Rationalism and focused, pointed critical thought have helped a bit. The feeling is still there but I feel more able to block it or short-circuit it in my brain somehow. The fact that it's still there, though, lurking beneath the measures I take to suppress it may well spur others to view it as, again, a divine presence.

How about it? Am I way off base here or is there something to this little theory of mine?

I dunno, from the previous polls on PPR we are pretty much split down the middle when it comes to belief / non belief, mind you at present the religious camp does seem to be stacking the PPR branch of WP and some of the more vocal atheists have either tapered off or been banned.

Its possible aspergers folk who would like to be gregarious but fail miserably at it (myself included) might be drawn into religion because these groups tend to be very accepting, this happened to me for a few short months and it was really nice having this large group whom were very inviting. Unfortunately I could not reconcile my logic with their belief in god and jesus, shame because for a short while I had some fun and felt relaxed.

I lack the ability to accept something as fact without totally conclusive evidence.
I don't even take the world around me as fact; my senses could be deceiving me, my subconscious could be altering it, I could be in the Matrix, etc.. Rather, I take things as likely. The world around me is likely how I'm seeing it right now, while the existence of any sort of god seems very unlikely.

Either way, I find it hilarious that someone with a handicap would believe in God! Battered wife syndrome anyone?

Occam's Razor may be a useful tool to decide what idea is more practical to believe, but it doesn't bestow truth or even likelihood.
Just because it is simple and intuitive, doesn't mean it is more likely than the complex and counter-intuitive; why should it?

Besides, wouldn't Occam's Razor suggest that you just have experiences and that's the end of the story; no real world?
That explanation of the world has a far, far smaller multitude of entities than a world filled with real atoms, stars and the rest of the universe.
O's Razor is no proof of likelihood.

I don't know if there is a link between AS and religion (or lack thereof), but I have heard that those who are atheist are so because everything can be explained logically.

Tim, that's why I am personally an atheist, but I don't claim that everything can explained. Just that any supposed god and holy text are bunk.

I'm a firm believer in reason over faith.
